Duck hunt wins, hands down. Blew my mind. Whoever did this, you are a genius.

Everyone else: great job! this was an awesome experimental month. It's too bad more people didn't take a shot at it, but I know a handful of people who WOULD HAVE.. they're just too busy right now.

[21:00] <Engage> It is time
[21:00] <@Paragon> yes it is
[21:00] <@Paragon> you're the only one here
[21:01] <Engage> FFFFFF
[21:01] <Engage> Well, obscure months don't typically get too many people
[21:01] <@Paragon> maybe we should discontinue these things :\
[21:01] <Engage> Or hold them on the weekends when no one is working
[21:02] <@Paragon> meh, i guess we can get started
[21:02] <@Paragon> QUEUE: Duck Hunt - Zapper in the Duck Hunt
[21:03] <Engage> queued
[21:03] <@Paragon> PLAY Duck Hunt - Zapper in the Duck Hunt
[21:03] <@Paragon> advantage-ish tone
[21:03] <Engage> It really is a miracle these guys can make a 2+ minute song out of jingles like this
[21:04] <@Paragon> yeah it's crazy
[21:04] <Engage> THE WO
[21:04] <Engage> WHO^
[21:04] <@Paragon> hax
[21:04] <@Paragon> must use a similar chord progression or something
[21:04] <Engage> It's onllllly teeeenage duck hunt
[21:05] <@Paragon> that tone sounded too fuzzy
[21:05] <@Paragon> on the solo guitar
[21:05] <@Paragon> almost like it was backed by a chip synth
[21:05] <Engage> It was alright, I guess
[21:05] <@Paragon> yeah, decent enough
[21:06] <@Paragon> QUEUE: Final Fantasy 6 - Pitch a Tent (Good Night)
[21:06] <Engage> Do you have the lyrics for this next song?
[21:06] <@Paragon> nope
[21:06] <@Paragon> PLAY: Final Fantasy 6 - Pitch a Tent (Good Night)
[21:06] <@Paragon> pop in the beginning?
[21:06] <@Paragon> or was that my headphones?
[21:06] <@Paragon> loving the bass sound
[21:07] <Engage> This should be sung by Michael Jackson
[21:07] <Engage> What was that early MJ song?
[21:07] <@Paragon> ABC?
[21:07] <Engage> Like 'Rock your body' or something like that
[21:08] <@Paragon> that's the backstreet boys
[21:08] <@Paragon> nice duet
[21:08] <Engage> I want you
[21:08] <Engage> inside me
[21:08] <@Paragon> QUEUE: Mega Man 3 - A Manly Decision
[21:09] <Engage> brb bathroom
[21:09] <@Paragon> ok

[21:11] *** Engage has joined #dwellingofduels
[21:11] <Engage> k, lets do it
[21:11] <@Paragon> PLAY: Mega Man 3 - A Manly Decision
[21:12] <@Paragon> bad timing/sloppy playing but a nice variation on the jingle
[21:12] <Engage> yeah
[21:12] <Engage> I thought it was the tone at first
[21:13] <Engage> this rhythym is all over the place
[21:13] <@Paragon> i like that it keeps going for a bit here even though it could have ended
[21:14] <@Paragon> or rather that it ends in an unexpected way
[21:14] <Engage> wait, wouldn't that be something not to like?
[21:14] <@Paragon> no i mean the ending is less predictable than i thought
[21:14] <Engage> mmhmm
[21:14] <@Paragon> QUEUE: Mega Man 3 - Infiltrating the Fortress
[21:15] <@Paragon> PLAY: Mega Man 3 - Infiltrating the Fortress
[21:15] <Engage> This is the wily jingle, right?
[21:15] <@Paragon> yeah
[21:15] <@Paragon> i think, i did have to check and see which NSF track it was
[21:16] <@Paragon> lots of subtle palm muting seems like
[21:16] <@Paragon> flange on the drums?
[21:16] <@Paragon> hmm the drums are pretty thin-sounding now that i listen
[21:16] <@Paragon> MIDIish
[21:17] <Engage> I forgot to adjust my volume
[21:17] <Engage> thus I thought everything was thin sounding
[21:17] <@Paragon> the double bass works, at least
[21:17] <@Paragon> punchy
[21:18] <@Paragon> the hats are too dark maybe
[21:18] <@Paragon> weird how those last seconds of silence weren't cut
[21:18] <Engage> yeah
[21:18] <Engage> maybe intentional?
[21:18] <@Paragon> could be
[21:18] <@Paragon> QUEUE: Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake, Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid VR Missions - DoDied
[21:19] <@Paragon> PLAY: Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake, Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid VR Missions - DoDied
[21:19] <@Paragon> oddly, the only person who chose to go the medley route
[21:20] <Engage> I can't tell where the jingle is
[21:20] <Engage> or maybe that's just my lack of interaction with MGS games
[21:20] <@Paragon> i recognize that one at about 1:00
[21:21] <@Paragon> overall this is good if seeming a little disjointed
[21:21] <@Paragon> medleyitis
[21:22] <@Paragon> that ending was a little unneccesary
[21:22] <@Paragon> QUEUE: Metroid Fusion - Parasitic Party On SR388
[21:22] <@Paragon> PLAY: Metroid Fusion - Parasitic Party On SR388
[21:24] <@Paragon> the pitch-shifting makes the vocals sound odd
[21:24] <@Paragon> i like the idea though, clever
[21:25] *** Engage has quit IRC: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client
[21:26] *** Engage has joined #dwellingofduels
[21:26] <Engage> Sorry bout leaving like that
[21:27] <Engage> my library session got cut short
[21:27] <@Paragon> should we redo the metroid song
[21:27] <Engage> that would be cool
[21:27] <@Paragon> k
[21:27] <@Paragon> PLAY: Metroid Fusion - Parasitic Party On SR388
[21:28] <Engage> GladOS?
[21:28] <@Paragon> pitch shifting
[21:29] <Engage> I can't tell what live instrument is being used here
[21:29] <@Paragon> vocals are live
[21:29] <Engage> i guess that counts then XD
[21:29] <Engage> Is she singing about herpes in the ass?
[21:29] <@Paragon> haha
[21:29] <@Paragon> could be
[21:30] <Engage> parasitic rape
[21:30] <Engage> that could explain things
[21:30] <Engage> what was that from?
[21:31] <Engage> that sound clip?
[21:31] <@Paragon> alien/aliens
[21:32] <Engage> this is probably my favorite from this month
[21:32] <Engage> should we even bother with the alt?
[21:32] <@Paragon> yeah, why not
[21:32] <@Paragon> PLAY: Castlevania - Variations on Victory
[21:32] <Engage> Vampire Variations tribute?
[21:32] <@Paragon> i like the last one there
[21:32] <@Paragon> idk
[21:33] <Engage> Well, that does it
[21:33] <@Paragon> yep
[21:33] <Engage> Sorry this party had to suck so bad
[21:33] <@Paragon> haha
[21:33] <@Paragon> ain't your fault, it's bonkers's

[3ngag3]

Seriously guys, what happened to the days when everyone would get off work early just to jump in here and do some quickie chats?

Maybe cancelling is the only path left.

A weekend alternative might be a better solution. That or someone needs to make up another Chrono Trigger month so we get 40 entries

Sorry Forgot. Was playing L4D2 with Brandon Strader

Everything Is my Fault.

Sorry Forgot. Was playing L4D2 with BONKERS.

[Lucavi00]

I too forgot. Was playing with myself.

[Demonstray]

I was at work, having my performance evaluation and then walking around the building to keep track of hundreds of people. Sorry I couldn't make it.

[Harjawaldar]

we need some of those veterans to come back and show us how its done!

but cool month, nice job!

The entries were cool. Some of them used a bit too much existing song in the remix but eh, not much to do with a jingle eh? I think the MGS one was definitely a highlight, the FF6 one was so sexy, Duck hunt was nice but could have used more creativity in the arrangement instead of recycling an existing song - seemed very PuD'ish in that way. MM3 Infiltrating, I have an idea of who made this may be wrong, I thought it was awesome anyway haha. I like that sound. Manly Decision was also good, surprising how many well-produced jingle songs there were. Castlevania was also awesome. Thelast one was, not very good

Wow, you just roll out of bed in the morning and decide "You know what? I'm going to be a troll today", don't you?

i don't think there's any decision making process involved. it's a natural tendency to start out with filters at zero.

Says the man who made the same joke in a gigantic MAGfest megamedley.

[Prince Of Darkness]

Yeah but George does it out of love. Brandon does it out of sociopathy.

Though he may be right, my arrangements are definitely not creative enough. I should probably compress my drums harder and add bad nu-metal vocals because I clearly don't have enough gold medals.
